American School Health Association
2000 Outstanding Student Paper Award

The American School Health Association seeks submissions for the 2000 Outstanding Student Paper Award, co-sponsored by the ASHA Council on Health Behaviors and the ASHA Research Council. Up to three papers will be selected. Papers may be either review papers or research papers that address topics related to school health or health promotion in schools. Each winner will have an opportunity to present their paper during a special session dedicated to honoring the student award recipients at the ASHA 74th National School Health Conference, October 25 - 29, 2000, in New Orleans, La. Award recipients will have 15 minutes to present their paper and five minutes to answer questions. Award winners who participate in the conference receive a complimentary conference registration and a $600 cash award.

Students are eligible to submit a paper if they are full-time or part-time graduate students actively pursuing a degree at a college or university. A submission form must be signed by a college/university advisor (or staff person) who can be contacted to verify the student status of the applicant. Submissions must be postmarked by July 7, 2000.

This program should not be confused with the Research Council student abstract submissions. The Outstanding Student Paper Award requires submission of a complete paper that adheres to the award submission guidelines that follow.
